I WANT A KOI POND!!

Ive always toyed with the idea of digging a pond at the back of my property for a Koi pond. Or maybe buy a pool, and plop Kois in it.
The water table is way too high for grass in the back section of my backyard, and there is a creek there...spring fed. Bet the fish would love it there.
Minus the minks...and the heron...and my d u c k s.

TERIYAKI ON COCONUT RICE?????

You are killing me. That's yummmmmmy.
Mom made some "hainan chicken rice" last week when her energy level was better.
We bought a free range chicken from chinatown, and some fresh "US" ginger, and some hot house baby cukes.
We boiled the whole chicken till it was COOKED, then dunked it in ice cold water.
Chopped it up and placed it in a BIG platter on top of some sliced cukes.
Then we put about 2 cups of sauce on top of the whole thing.
(soy sauce, sesame oil chicken stock and a teeny touch of raw honey)
We saved the chicken stock and used it to ciik the rice. Also added a tad bit of sesame oil adn salt to the cooking rice.
It was YUM.
With all the chicken you have, you just got to try it. ( ...sorry, chickens.)

YUMMY !!
We are having leftovers tonight...but adding Egg Foo Young ( with baby shrimpies in it) and vegie egg rolls !!!

Please...anyone want a beautiful, friendly, sweet Splash Silkie Roo?? I'd make a great deal to a BYCer. Just want him to have a good home and not be alone.

And I'm getting some responses from a psychopath on Craigstlist.

How much would one expect to pay for a 13 week pullet at that auction? I might go over there on Saturday just to see if there's any age appropriate pullets I could add to our flock...but I'm cheap and not going to pay $20 for a bird

I have no idea how much they ask for them, but I will say and this is just my opinion I would never buy a chicken there because you don't know where it comes from and what it will bring home. Plus not all people are honest to what they are selling. I know I bought a horse there 20 years or more ago that the guy rode all around and 2 weeks later it went wild. NOT GOOD had my kids on it and husband on it, at least it only hurt me..
So if I was you Id ask on here and see what people had.

P.S. Hey CL! In keeping with the theme, I named our young Olive Egger from you "Toscano" for the olive oil brand. Sure hope she lives up to the name when she starts producing eggs!



Isn't Tascano a boy name ?

No I agree. All this talk about being rude: I asked for opinions but not rude talk. I already said if she had worded it differently it would have been fine. I *did* ask!

OK well here's what I'd like to complete my flock this year: 1-2 Americauna/Ameraucana/EEers who are already 12-17 weeks old. PULLETS. I don't want dark looking colors; prefer blue/gray, or white. I will drive an hour from 98042. Looking to pay $14-18 for one.

That's not very far from me. Question... is this a good place to buy fertilized eggs, and if we get any to hatch, would the chicks be pretty easy to sell? We really want to do a summer project with the kids. I bought a couple of the mini incubators from Chubby Chicken and we are having the kids study the life cycle of a chicken over the summer. Problem is, I can't find anyone who wants chicks, and we don't want to keep them. We're happy with our 3 this year. If we bought fertilized eggs and actually got any to hatch, what is our chance of selling them? And, would we get our money back on the cost of the eggs?

Gosh all are good questions, Ive taken my eggs there a lot to sell for hatching, not sure if Id buy there I do think someone on here has. I dont know how much you would pay for them right now dont think too much. So selling the chicks not sure how much you would get for them, depends on the breed I do know silkies go really well there. Not sure this time of year though.

What are you looking for? a bunch of diseased cross breeds someone is dumping?........ That's not rude?

Sounds very realistic to me.
She is merely trying to prevent others from possibly making a very bad mistake, and stressing her point.
She said nothing rude or off flavour to anyone or made rude comments about anyone.
She did not insult anyone.
She was merely telling the truth.

Added: She was only trying to help you.
